CHICAGO --They like to do things big and LOUD in Chicago. They brag about the tallest building, the busiest airport, the toughest football team. This place is not called the Windy City because of the weather (as everyone thinks) but because of the bluster, the hot air, coming from the people.But Chicagoans are being awfully quiet about their beloved Bears this year. The game Sunday was about Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick, Version II, proving that he and the Eagles were for real.
Instead, the Bears stuffed him, sacking him four times and giving him his first loss as a starter. They beat the Eagles 31-26 to move to 8-3 and - shhh -- all alone into first place in the NFC North.
The game positively, absolutely, definitively proved that the Bears are, or might be, um, well uh, for real.
The star quarterback of the day was not Vick, who couldn't break from the pocket -- "I can always run when I want to,'' he said. Easy to say now.
